Too funny! I have no problem owning Westchester and I’m proud to be from there. I only said NY because people in Baltimore didn’t know that area. I never felt like a city kid, even if I hung out in the city all the time, and I wouldn’t have wanted people to think I was someone I am not. Suburbs and cities really are different.

People know Westchester, NY… isn’t not some random nowheresville place.

I went to college 30 years ago. Perhaps it was less well-known then. I can only tell you, if I said that, I'd get blank looks. I learned quickly to say "metro NY" or NY.

I can see people confusing it with West Chester PA. But theres at lot of transplants and college students in MD from Westchester NY now that people are familiar.
